\"Heat\u2019s<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has missed\u00a0the last three games due to an ankle injury, the team has shared news that should excite fans for Sunday\u2019s contest against the\u00a0Indiana Pacers. Having\u00a0Butler suffered the injury on Nov. 8 and\u00a0missing every game since,\u00a0he has been upgraded to questionable\u00a0according to the team\u2019s official X, formerly Twitter, account.<\/p>\n

So far this season, Butler has been averaging 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists per game while shooting 47.8 percent from the field and 15.4 percent from beyond the arch. After the Heat had the bounce-back win to the Pacers Friday night, Butler hopes to bring more of a boost to end the six-game road trip on a good note before coming back home Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
